As stars descended to Saudi Arabia for a night of boxing action, football icon Cristiano Ronaldo and UFC superstar Conor McGregor found themselves in each other's company. Ronaldo, donning a bright green suit that in itself became a topic of conversation, was caught in the crosshairs of McGregor and another individual, sitting to the other side of him.

Ahead of them on the mat, Deontay Wilder lost his heavyweight bout to Joseph Parker to the surprise of many present inside the arena. Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, beat his opponent Otto Wallin in five rounds. 

Ronaldo has been in Saudi Arabia since joining Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr in January 2022. The Portugal international was the first established European football superstar to arrive at the burgeoning sporting spectacle, with a sensational Saudi summer spree adding many more shining stars to the roster. Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino and many more joined Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, sifting neatly into the four best teams in the country.
